The book introduces the lives of the ancient Greeks through extracts taken from a range of sources, including poems, plays, novels, histories, lawsuits, inscriptions, and private note tablets. The voices speak for themselves in fresh translation, but in addition, William Furley gives the narratives historical context and illuminates the literary genre in which they appear. The texts are grouped around important areas of life--love relations, travel and trade, social status, divine signs, daily events, warfare, philosophies, dress code, and private and public celebration--giving voice to the variety of lives experienced by the citizens of ancient Greece and an insight into the Greek mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Furley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789149177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789149173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"William Furley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45332011286783,"sku":"9781789149173","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3084d3a-c30e-44b9-8029-70ae044e64db.jpg?v=1713971498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myths-muses-and-mortals-william-furley-9781789149173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
